Cordelia

Naam: Cordelia

Leeftijd: Ongeveer 2 jaar oud.

Gender: Female sterilized.

Medicatie/gezondheid: Cordelia heeft kittens gehad, ze is voor zover bekend helemaal gezond.

Sociaal met mensen: Cordelia is goed met mensen, ze houdt ervan om aandacht te krijgen.

Sociaal met andere katten en honden: Cordelia gaat goed samen met andere katten en kat-vriendelijke honden.

Hoe belandde de kat in the haven: Het was september 2024 toen Kareema een reismandje vond naast ’the haven’. Toen ze het reismandje oppakte kwam ze tot de ontdekking dat er een mamma kat in zat met haar 3 kittens. Cordelia is gedumpt naast de opvang simpelweg omdat ze kittens had gekregen. Kareema heeft Cordelia en haar kittens natuurlijk meteen mee naar binnen genomen, de kittens kunnen ondertussen voor zichzelf zoeken. Cordelia is op zoek naar een fijn ‘voor altijd huisje’.

Barbossa

Barbossa was surrendered to the Haven by his owners a few weeks ago.

The owners no longer wanted him because he had gone blind in one eye and were going to dump him on the streets if Kareema didn't take him into the Haven.

Kareema couldn't let this happen of course. She quickly took Barbossa inside because Barbossa doesn't stand a chance on the busy streets of Cairo because he has always lived indoors.

The eye that he is blind in will soon be removed, so he is now a one-eyed person.

Barbossa is estimated to be 3 years old (date of birth +/- 12-2021). He is a friendly boy, is calm, loves to be petted. But he will not impose himself and ask for attention.

Not yet a lap cat but there is certainly room for improvement. Basbossa is good with other cats and cat friendly dogs.

Like all SHE cats, he has received his vaccinations against common cat diseases and against rabies. He has had a deworming and anti-flea treatment. He is chipped and neutered. Barbossa is litter-box trained.

Barbossa is not an ex-street cat. He is an ex-house cat. He is looking for a home where he will be appreciated more than his previous owners.

Who will promise not to cast Barbossa out again? Is that you? – Check out our adoption procedure. And please don't hesitate to contact us for questions.

Batata

❗ This is a confirmed cat. This one is no longer available for adoption. ❗

Our boy Batata from Safe Haven Egypt (SHE) in Cairo has not had much luck in his young life so far and is now hoping for a New Year's miracle to find his forever home!

This young cat has already experienced more loss than most.

After his owner passed away, the grieving Batata was abandoned by his family and left to fend for himself on the dangerous streets of Cairo. For an indoor cat, it was a terrifying ordeal: deafening traffic, hostile street cats, hungry stray dogs, and no idea how to find food or shelter.

Luckily, Koky, the founder of SHE, rescued him and placed him in a foster home where he could recover. Unfortunately, his foster mother had to leave the country after only three months. So today (as of December 26, 2024) he was brought to the Haven, where he now has to deal with the shelter situation.

Batata is about 2 years old and has no known health problems.

During his stay at the shelter he was fully prepared for adoption: dewormed, flea treated, chipped, vaccinated and castrated.

He is already eligible to travel to Canada and the US and from February he will also be ready to join families in the EU, Switzerland or the UK after completing the required waiting period.

Batata is not only incredibly affectionate, but also beautiful! His luxurious long coat is a mix of soft white and silver-grey with a striking symmetrical tabby pattern. His large amber eyes are enchanting and full of warmth.

Batata is very attached to people, loving and very cuddly. The coming days and weeks will show how well he gets along with the other cats and the two dogs in the shelter. Today, on his first day in the Haven, he clearly feels safer on elevated places.

One thing is clear though: he loves human touch and attention.

Batata is an indoor cat, but he would probably enjoy a secure balcony or an enclosed outdoor space once he gets used to it. More importantly, he needs to find a family that gives him love and stability, where he can finally feel safe and cherished… for life.

If you are willing to provide Batata with a lifetime of care, love and safety, then we would like to hear from you!

Tofu

❗ This is a confirmed cat. This one is no longer available for adoption. ❗

In late June 2023, Koky, the founder of SHE, found a dirty, long-haired white cat in a supermarket parking lot.

It was clear that this was an abandoned house cat that would not survive long on the streets. Koky took him home immediately. At that time our British caretaker Deborah was visiting. In order to keep him separated from Koky's own cats, Tofu spent the night in Deborah's guest room (see last photo).

Despite being in an unfamiliar place with a stranger, he showed no signs of stress and was very friendly. Deborah decided to call him 'Tofu'.

Apart from being dirty and having matted fur, Tofu was otherwise unharmed. So Koky and Deborah took him straight to Haven the next day. There he was treated for fleas, dewormed, vaccinated and neutered. He also went through a 3 week quarantine period before being allowed to join the other cats in the garden apartment.

Tofu is now between 3 and 4 years old (as of October 2024) and in perfect health. His long, silky coat has become a bright white again, beautifully complemented by his striking amber eyes.

He is a gentle and relaxed cat. He does not seem to be at all impressed by the large group of cats in the garden apartment, where the two shelter dogs also roam freely.

What really makes Tofu special is his loving nature!

He loves to be cuddled and pampered by everyone. Although he can be encouraged to play, he enjoys all the affection he can get the most. Unfortunately, in a large shelter like ours, there is not enough time for the individual attention that cats like Tofu need. He also needs regular grooming to keep his lush coat in top condition and his healthy skin.

Who wants to share their couch with this dream cat and give Tofu a loving and caring home that will last a lifetime?

Tofu is perfectly happy being an indoor cat and is not allowed to roam freely outdoors. Of course, this does not mean he would not like access to a screened balcony, catio or escape-proof garden.

Tofu is ready to fly to the EU, UK, Canada or the US. In some cases adoption to Switzerland is also possible. He will travel with his vaccination booklet and a rabies titer certificate from an accredited German lab.
